Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

Several forms of thin-film solar cells are being examined as alternatives to silicon-solar cells—one of the most promising technologies is the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC), with proven efficiencies that approach 11%. This book, which provides a comprehensive look at this promising technology, aims to provide both a graduate level text that brings together the fundamentals of DSC from three perspectives (materials, performance, and mechanistic aspects), as well as to serve as an advanced monograph that summarizes the key advances and lists the technical challenges remaining to be solved.

About the author (2010)

Dr. K. Kalyanasundaram is a senior scientist at the Laboratory for Photonics and Interfaces of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Ecole Polytechnique Federale) at Lausanne, Switzerland. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in chemistry from the University of Madras, followed by a Ph.D. in physical chemistry (1976) at the Radiation Laboratory, University of Notre Dame in Indiana, USA. Following a two-year stay as a post-doctoral fellow at the Royal Institution, London, UK with Lord George Porter, he joined the photochemistry group of Prof. Michael Graetzel at EPFL in 1979, where he has worked since. Research interests of Dr. Kalyanasundaram are in the area of photochemistry in microheterogeneous media, inorganic photochemistry and photochemical conversion and storage of solar energy.
